The Roux Brothers - Eggs 2

[@MrTann2010]

Albert: Its a 3 star scrambled egg Michel: That's why its taking 10 minutes!!! lmao love the interaction and teasing between the 2 brothers, epic!

[@nickwilson7463]

They were the private chefs to the royal family and the main reason the British restaurant scene is now one of the best in the world true masters of their craft

[@ajayaymusic]

I think private chefs to the Rothschild family and then favourites amongst the royal family, no? Queen Mother was a big fan. Agree that they changed food in Britain!

[@ms12376]

And not single statue or plaque in London to acknowledge what they have done for the British restaurant scene.

[@professionalprocrastinator8103]

Alain inherited his father's laughter but also his uncle's features. Michel Jnr. has the delicate tone of his dad but his uncle's inquisitiveness, mannerisms and stature along with his gift for story-telling. There is a very satisfying symmetry and anti-symmetry in the relationship between the fathers and the sons, but also the same banter.

[@prunechat8401]

Wonderful to find these programmes again. I was newly married when the series was first broadcast and this series became a cookery course that taught me the basic skills that I have used throughout the decades that followed. I still have and use the book that came out alongside the series. With these basic techniques mastered one can attempt so very many different styles of recipe and cuisine. Just sorry that we were never in a position to eat at any of the Roux brother’s restaurants. One day we will get to the Gavroche.

[@StandswithafistPiper]

Great skills mixed in with -The Two Ronnie's type humour - excellent !!

[@jhatelannrodriguez8063]

I am enjoying the banter of these two

[@yehabon]

i love the music they play when they show the finished dish, it's like "Victory Music".

[@omarmustafa2541]

Something about this is intensely relaxing 😌.

[@JustAnotherBlader]

These 2 have so much character without even trying

[@p0giboi]

finaly i can relax to a cooking show very elegant and yet down to earth amazing show

[@arriesone]

How refreshing to see this again and watch the chefs actually COOK in a civilised fashion, as compared to the likes of GR, the loud music and the fff-ing in your face all the time. I know which one I prefer.

[@GT-kq3fe]

It is much better. However I don't think GR is at fault. It's the producers of the shows who "require" that, assuming that's what we, the idiots, want. As for demeanor in the kitchen, the Roux brothers were rough on Marco, which then was tough on Gordon, which then was tough .. and so on. Don't let their calm demeanor fool you, while in service, they'd bite your head off.

[@bill6698]

these guys are hilarious!

[@Mackr_5]

love these two

[@steveharvey2203]

One of the first cookery books I bought was the Roux Brothers. Great seeing the programs again.

[@Enkarashaddam]

It's interesting how they balance each other. Albert is about classical technique and Michel is more practical and pragmatic. Learning from both would be a privilege indeed!

[@TheNaz01]

Its so fun listening to their accents!

[@ledsabbazepplath3889]

Mastery of the kitchen !

[@68javs]

legends!

[@aswadsaswad1759]

Fried eggs done in a chip pan!!!?? If anyone else did that people would think they're mad, Lol,

[@ragingmonster]

legends

[@etard82]

SO HESTON'S WAY IS FROM A CLASSIC METHOD LOL!

[@ronyay3586]

lol?

[@meshen85]

Haha, "You love it, don't you?" This is brilliant, I'm going to track some more of these down.

[@HoHosontherack]

The deep fried egg looks good....

[@goreil2489]

R I P Michel, loved you

[@paucceri]

LOL 3:50 "Oh God you love cream don't you... yes you do."

[@InnuendoXP]

Sorted Food and Good Eats are pretty good to watch for this reason too

[@unseenocean]

These guys are the masters of this field. Ramsay etc are all excellent masters too but these men are the founding fathers for our era....they are like Monet to Impressionism, Cezanne to Post Impressionism, Van Gogh to Post Impressionism/Expressionism.....make no mistake about these experts and how they have been favoured with this global and historical contribution.

[@kh_qft762]

As far as I understand they basically transformed the UK from food hell to a country that can rival any other with its cuisine. To me a greater accomplishment than any 3 michelin star award....to transform a whole country's food culture is like a 4th star. It's a joke that Michel Roux Jr has only 2 stars let me tell you.

[@weizhuu]

thee fieshh ies the star of thie plate

[@inuyashaspet]

I stumbled upon this video by accident, after seeing Gordon Ramsay poach an egg. And wow, I thought this would be like a bad episode of foreign-dubbed Sesame Street. Turns out these guys seem like the coolest goddamn chefs in the worlds. Their personality is so perfect for a nice TV show.

[@CooManTunes]

Why would you watch an uninspiring asshole poach an egg, when you could, instead, watch these two legends?

[@ankoslitoflower]

thats cause this is two brothers during a non live cooking only show. and grs shows are mostly reality. the roux brothers and jr. both run a very serious kitchen, and at the cost of their food (during both time periods) "f" ups are NOT tolerated and are treated just as so. but honestly as a customer, if you don't see any of the turmoil, and both come out just as well done. why the hell would anyone care?

[@GT-kq3fe]

An improved version, IMO, of Julia Child's show. Still, the classic French way of doing things, but with refinement and less fidgeting about than Julia. Nothing against Julia of course, she, or pretty much most of 20th century cooks have nothing on the Roux brothers. Quite literally, they were some of the responsible of defining the French cuisine we all know today.

[@kh_qft762]

Yes and transforming an entire country's gastronomy (the UK of all places!) For me that's like a 4th michelin star achievement. The fact Michel Roux Jr has only 2 stars shows how much the Michelin guide has become clueless...

[@SethHesio]

@k3nn3r5 That's really cool. What is he like to work for?

[@i5aac92]

Correct, Albert's son Michel jnr is at the helm, and from what I understand his style of cooking doesn't suit Michelin's 3 star requirements. The restaurant is still very well thought of however.

[@bmofano]

i know fuck all about art! but i agree with you about these guys

[@OjesYobe]

wow.

[@greatorderofchaos]

Top Toot Talk

[@paucceri]

low/medium heat and keep it moving constantly so it doesn't "catch" and brown. still need fat in the pan.

[@kzgc8y3n]

I love how they are arguing over technique haha

[@150buckfifty150]

6:15 NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@SethHesio]

@inuyashaspet , "I thought this would be like a bad episode of foreign-dubbed Sesame Street" Funny. They really are cool aren't they? I wish they made cooking shows like this nowadays... it would be great.

[@spriggo786]

It's funny how the techniques used here are being used in "molecular gastronomy".

[@antsman88]

what happened to albert? is he just enjoying his retirement?

[@Dudderlyful]

Not sure about that bain marie method, fascinating to see their methods though

[@stevenfairlie3407]

Takes a while but is extremely indulgent on a bit of toasted sourdough.

[@kh_qft762]

The bain marie makes it idiot proof basically. But you can use direct heat as long as you take your pan off the heat for a few seconds every now and then to prevent cooking too aggressively.

[@FinbarCharlesBarton0]

I prefer mine with bacon, mushrooms and cheese. 4* Michelin omelette right there

[@Za7a7aZ]

@unseenocean Why is it that the french came with fine dining and have a real cooking history?

[@tioluis1337]

yes,cos still being gastronomy

[@Za7a7aZ]

Yeah...don't store the eggs next to a melon or unions. I always store my eggs next to the pound of truffels which is stored next to the kilo buluga kaviar.....

[@throwitinthebinUnt]

1:40 can anyone give me the spelling of that B word

[@tofinoguy]

"Bain Marie". It's essentially a water bath.

[@4490red]

sure, use $2.00 of oil to cook a ten cent egg.

[@matthiasmartin4355]

You can just filter and re-use oil like this.

[@yamabushi170]

Mah leetle qaals eggs

[@indianajonezftw]

bain marie

[@seavale11]

haha

[@TheBenzooh]

i do think people are so lazy. they say they dont have time to cook whatever. and they sit infront of the TV watching some tv show. you can do it.

[@jensbond1978]

Why not just eat the eggs raw ? ... That omelet must have essentially every characteristics of nasal mucus... "yummy"

[@jensbond1978]

"eeh you love it don't you?" - "here you are" - "aah" - "ill put my cream in" - "OH good you love cream... don't you?" - "uuh yeah" - "yes you do" ...how perverted. I just lost all my appetite.
